Abstract

Convoy driving has great potential in the development of autonomous driving industry, which can bring great improvement to the utilization rate of roads and the travel experience of passengers. However, the emergence of convoy driving also brings some new challenges to the location privacy of autonomous vehicles. In this paper, a novel dynamic mixed zone establishment scheme is proposed to protect the location privacy of autonomous vehicles in convoy driving context. As the convoy is a closed group, the request for the establishment of the mix zone will be broadcast first within the convoy, followed by outside the convoy. In order to prevent pseudonym syntactic join attacks within the convoy, the proposed scheme allows autonomous vehicles to use multiple valid pseudonyms if only itself change the pseudonym in the convoy. In order to trace the real identity of the offending vehicle, the proposed scheme specifies the distribution method of the pseudonym, the legitimate vehicle can trace the real identity of the offending vehicle by submitting the pseudonym of the offending vehicle. Compared with the scheme to protect location privacy in the traditional vehicular network, the proposed scheme has less overhead and a higher level of security.
